I loved mine. There was a couple years where the barrels were very very ammo sensitive. IIRC the newer ones are gtg. I'd say mine was close to 1.5 MOA, but honestly I suck at bench rest shooting so I couldn't be sure. It was as accurate as any of my bolt guns, that's for sure.

In some ways they are better than a factory HK. They are built on factory HK equipment, but have a match barrel rather than the pencil barrels the "real" HK's have. I had one, and really enjoyed it. I never shot it for groups, but it would hit 4" steel at 200 yard with surplus ammo every time. I ended up selling mine and getting an M1 Garand. Sights on the PTR91 are a PITA to adjust.

Hkpro.com has a good thread about them... regarding which serial #'s to avoid, which ones have different barrels (thompson center made them for awhile), different flutes, and which are home builds on PTR receivers.

Go to HK PRO, & look in the clone section. There's hours of reading. In a nutshell, if you can find a JLD marked receiver with a ser# that starts with "A" [after 100], those were the best ones made. The first 1000 or so PTR marked receivers with ser# "AW" were also fine. After that they went to a different barrel maker, & these guns needed US made expensive ammo. These guns above 1000 or so [nobody knows exactly where the cutoff point is] will choke on surplus ammo. Eventually, after a few years [nobody knows what ser#] they got the barrel problems worked out, BUT, now that the supply of surplus bolts/carriers is dwindling, PTR is making these parts in the US, & quality [heat treating] isn't the best. So if you can find an early JLD built gun after ser# 100 that's the best gun to find. Any JLD/PTR gun with a ser# that starts with "B" was not factory built. GARY N4KVE

I have two PTR-91KPFs, a DSA Para FAL 16" and an Imbel Para FAL 18". They are both totally different systems, the only thing they have in common is that they both shoot 7.62x51mm. If you told me you can keep only one type I would choose the FALs. Here are my reasons why.

1) Common parts with a manufacturer in the US (DS Arms)
2) Ergonomics, better bolt release mag release and every trigger I have felt on a FAL is better than an HK system
3) Cleaner internally when you shoot a lot due to he piston system
4) FALs while they are hard on brass do not destroy it like a delayed roller system (I reload and this is an issue for me)
5) Receiver is milled steel not a stamping, it can be an issue if your PTR receiver get a dent in it. Not likely to happen but still.
6) User maintenence is a lot more easy and requires no specialized tools, and parts are generally a lot cheaper than HK parts.

I am not saying to not get a HK pattern gun, I would just recommend getting a FAL before the HK type gun. FWIW here are the models I have.

I too have PTR's & FAL's, & while I love shooting both, the FAL's are much easier to clean. I love that green collapsible buttstock. I have all green furniture on mine, & that green buttstock would be a great match. GARY N4KVE
